I'm sure everyone lately has noticed there's a tonne of hate on the privacy subreddit, with every new post/comment there getting more and more aggresive than the last

I personally am loving the Lemmy community but I feel as though keeping the piracy subreddit in it's current state is making users of it quite hostile to change since they believe they are being forced to move

This will honestly make them refuse to ever use Kbin/Lemmy since in their eyes it's the moderators and users here that have killed r/Piracy (obviously wrong of the stick it's Reddit that's killing it's own communities with it's policies)

So I guess it's a question of should we as a community hand over the subreddit to a new moderation team or some other change since I don't feel like it's doing us any favours

Hoping to use this post as a sort of discussion about people's opinions

After my last visit on r/piracy, I'm of the mind to close it down for good and if reddit wants it back they can do so themselves.

Sure, there's a few people there that honestly ask question about the community since they weren't checking reddit at the time, but any attempt to explain has people insulting me. They want to stay there? Fine, cut ties and let them moderate it. That means they inherit a community someone else worked hard to build but whatever. With the attitudes I notice, they are not going to manage to keep it running for more than a few months anyways.
